Title: can chrysalid drawing routine 7 hold weapons?
Post by: thehay95 on August 12, 2018, 07:07:24 am

chyssalid drawing routine (number 7) has the least amount of frames and still has a full body with walking cycle turning and can hold weapons.

but can it hold weapons?

I think it should be perfectly possible.
However, the Chryssalid does not have a particularly few number of frames. Compare it with the Ethereal, for example.

not convincingly, no.
the chryssalid sprites don't have arms to hold/aim weapons, so they'd appear to be floating in front of the alien (much like the ethereals) or at the very least "detached" without some serious effort and it wouldn't cover all circumstances.

Wasnt there a years-old mod-resource by Bombbloke (for the original game) that included Civilians, Chrysallids etc that could carry weapons? Not sure anymore....
